Simpler
The Simpler Instrument.
Simpler is an instrument that integrates the basic elements of a sampler with a set of classic
synthesizer parameters. A Simpler voice plays a user-de ned sample section, which is in
turn processed by envelope, lter, LFO, volume and pitch components.
Presets created in Simpler can be converted for use in
Sampler
, and vice-versa. To do
this,
(PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) on Simpler's title bar and choose the Simpler -> Sampler
command. In this way, presets created in Simpler can be further edited with Sampler's
extended functionality.
23.12.1
Sample View
The Sample View displays the sample waveform. Samples can be dragged into Simpler
either directly from the Browser, or from the Session or Arrangement View in the form of
clips. In the latter case, Simpler will utilize only the section of the sample demarcated by
the clip's start/end or loop markers. Samples can be replaced by dragging in a new sample,
or by activating the integrated
Hot-Swap button
.
Note:
When playing instruments from Ableton's
Essential Instrument Collection
, Simpler
runs in
Multisample Mode
. The Sample View has no function in this mode.
